See, it's funny because a lot of conservatives think natural disasters are "controlled" by an invisible sky wizard. She was mocking their ignorance, not the death and destruction she had no knowledge of at the time.

No need to defend her, just pointing out the fallacy of this faux outrage.

Barfmaker:johnryan51: No different than Anne coulter. Outrageous statement.

Well, the fact that she genuinely seems sorry is a bit different than the classic "I'm sorry you were offended" go-to tactic so many modern Republicans seem fond of when they're backtracking from rape comments.

However, it was a horrible thing to say, and I don't anyone in this thread is going to actually defend the remark itself. Just how she handled it afterward.

/Now run off and tell your friends that God is targeting my city with hurricanes because we have a large gay population

She's not even defending herself. Why would anyone else? That's what you do not get. Liberals here on fark do not defend anything a liberal says blindly. We do however accept honest apologies and move on.l

Wouldn't it be awesome for a big tornado to hit Chicago?

I'm sorry.
